Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

French Empire style lighting emerged during Napoleon Bonapartes reign, influenced by classical Greco-Roman and Egyptian antiquities. Features typically include symmetrical silhouettes, fluted columns, heavy gilding, dark patinated bronzes, and classical motifs such as lion paw feet and acanthus leaf carving.

19th-century ormolu lamps were crafted using bronze casting, where molten metal was poured into detailed moulds. The decorative mounts were finished via mercury gilding to apply a layer of gold, often paired with dark patinated bronze shafts and assembled with threaded central steel rods.

Authentic pieces exhibit heavy cast bronze construction rather than lightweight modern alloys, along with fine hand-chased detailing on leaf mounts and claw feet. Original gilding often shows subtle wear, oxidisation in recessed areas, and evidence of historic conversion from oil or candle to electricity.

An Empire ormolu table lamp provides visual grounding on a dark wood sideboard, marble console table, or writing desk. Pair it with neutral linen shades and minimalist art to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and contemporary interiors.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or horsehair brush. Avoid abrasive chemical cleaners or metal polishes, as these strip historic gilding and patination; preserve original surfaces by keeping the piece dry and free from moisture.
